Jess is a curly-haired Jersey girl who adores penguins and watches the worst reality shows on TV.

For James Dunn and his wife Deanna, it was a beautiful day in Laguna Beach, California. Then everything took an unexpected turn.

James was using a drone to film Deanna as she relaxed on an ice cream cone float. After a few moments, however, he realized something bad was about to happen.

In the video below, posted on June 29, 2017, Deanna is enjoying her time in the water, wearing a black one-piece bathing suit. As her ice cream cone float drifts, James’ drone centers over her and zooms in.

Eventually, he notices a giant wave approaching. Unfortunately, Deanna is too relaxed and has no clue what’s coming for her.

In the blink of an eye, the wave comes crashing in and flips the ice cream cone float. Deanna is thrown off as the wave plows past her and toward the shore.

James later explained to ViralHog: “The ocean was relatively calm for a good 10 minutes, then, out of nowhere, a big wave comes and wipes my wife out. I tried screaming for her to brace herself, but it was too late.”

Deanna probably knows to keep an eye out from now on!

Check out this hilarious surprise in the video below, and please SHARE if you think James’ drone perfectly captured this!
